I’ve got your number – several of them, in fact. In recognition of the provincial government rolling out a brand-new math curriculum yesterday, this occasional teacher and current daily walker decided to sift through the numbers of this mission I am on with Step Forward and pass along the most […]

If you happened to be one of those folks who sees this ball cap-wearing, headphones-rocking character out on the walking path by the river in Fort Frances, here’s some advance notification for you. I will in all likelihood try and catch your eye. It’s not to make you uncomfortable – […]
Inspiration can come from many sources. If you’re blessed enough, you can be related to one. My sister, Kim, went from one extreme to the other with her health journey, using nothing but sheer determination to turn her life around. The number of times she tried to quit smoking in […]
Sometimes, fate dictates that before you take one – or a million – steps forward, you have to take a step back. So was the case last Thursday, two days before taking my first official strides in my Step Forward campaign. Somehow, I was clumsy enough to knock a good-sized […]
Five months ago, if you had told me I would commit to walking a million steps this summer, I would have had you committed – period. On January 2, this former Times sports reporter was the shape of the main object in many of the sports he used to cover […]
The onset of fall means cooler temperatures, changing leaves, and, yes, the stirring from its eight-month slumber of NFL football. It will be the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots (those are painful words to say) and the Kansas City Chiefs squaring off tomorrow night to begin another five months […]

The Freeman and Kivimaki families, as has been the norm during many a winter evening for many a year, headed to Everett Freeman’s favourite restaurant a week ago Saturday. After dinner (again, like normal), the group headed in the direction of the Memorial Sports Centre for the evening’s scheduled hockey […]
To paraphrase the well-known Anglo-Saxon saying in a more culturally-accurate way, the Creator is believed to not give the Ojibwe people any more than He believes each one can handle. If so, He must believe Nancy Indian and her family to possess the strength of Nanabush himself for what they’ve […]
Step right up and place your bets. A fitting opening to my almost annual column predicting the outcome of this year’s NFL season, which begins tomorrow night when the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers. Billions upon billions of dollars are bet every year on professional […]
From local fairways to the tee boxes of Thunder Bay and the greens of the world’s most revered course at St. Andrews, Scotland, it’s been a full week for those who play and follow the grand old game. Start with the Kitchen Creek Golf Club’s Senior Men’s Open last Wednesday. […]
